    Yep, 5 total and the one on the top right is the biggest.  I had to put up the board so it wouldn't slide down the hill.
We also grow tomatoes, cucumbers (two types), corn, zucchini, boysenberries (although season is almost over for them), strawberries, bush beans, limes and lemons,  and lots and lots of flowers.
   Once we retired, things did ramp up a bit gottta admit.

Soil is a lot of clay.  If you look at the pics that is 9 inches of wood on top of the soil.  I add soil to that and mix it in.  Dr. Earth and EB Stone both have fertilzers (organic) with lots of good soil microbes that I use a lot.  Also do a lot of pots.  
   The wood is just treated lumber with rebar pounded into drilled out holes.
    If you have sandy soil its easier to use.  Just start adding mulch and working it in.
